The Reliability and Validity of Two Assessment Scales in the Elderly Mentally Handicapped
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Summary
The Clifton Assessment Schedule and the Shortened Stockton Rating Scale were administered to 38 elderly, mentally handicapped patients. Inter-rater reliability was high and the CAS was found to be a useful measure of cognitive ability. The tests measure different features of patients, but both correlated significantly with estimated levels of independence.
